TRENDS! They're around us everywhere we go...from clothing to jewelry...purses to cars. The trends are fun and fresh, but don't let them dictate what you do. Pick the ones you love and create something FUN with them! (Which is exactly what our gals did today!)

Trend to Watch - Watercolor with Stamps!

"They are easy to use for artists and crafter of all skill level. Prima's pencils have such a gorgeous array of colors. I also think they make stamping a bit more fun." ~ Jennifer

Everywhere we look there's inspiration! So many times we save a file, pin a project, or just take an extra minute to oooh and ahhh over a gorgeous sample, then we walk away and forget about it. Well, today we want to encourage you to take a favorite Prima project and scraplift it yourself!

We chose a gorgeous, stunning, oh-so-divine card by Ania Hababicka and asked three of our experts to use it as inspiration for something NEW. They could copy the exact products, the layout, or the color palette. The results? You'll have to scroll down to see!

First, we would like to give a big warm welcome to our newest addition to the Live with Prima team-Miranda Edney! Miranda is the queen of altered projects and her style and personality make her a perfect match for Live with Prima. Just wait and see what she has in store for us on the shows-we guarantee you will be inspired by her creations! Her first show will be March 5th. And below, she has shared a little bit about herself and where you can see some of her amazing projects online:

"Hello lovely Prima fans! I have to start by saying that I have officially reached my crafty dreams joining this amazing family! Crafting has taken me on such a journey, and the rewards have been humbling! I am a lover of all things vintage and mixed media. I tend to stick with altered art. It is definitely my "niche" and where my imagination soars. I do like to dabble in everything from layouts , cards, collage, you name it! When I am not crafting I am spending time in sunny Florida with my honey and our fur babies. During the summer its all about the boats , jet skis, and water! All around, I just love to have fun and be SILLY! I truly am honored to be here and hope you all will join me for my live shows! Big hugs!" ~Miranda
